Popping my head in here, to clarify, unless I'm mistaken there's still the 2nd leg qualifier left now between Juice box and Blackened I've seen some congratulary salutes around lately but it's not over yet!

I had no idea! This makes the whole setup even more interesting, time to check those replay servers again

From Orb: "The refined cheese replay is rather short, so you might want to combo it with the other cheese replay. Also the chat is quite noisy and irrelevant in the first replay so you might want to remove it."

Awesome! It never ceases to amaze me how far the competitive scene has gotten!
I still remember the days when there were maybe 1-2 games posted per month,
and some of my earlier casts were players who would nowadays be considered beginners.
OpenRA has come a long way indeed!
I'll check those replays out as soon as my holiday schedule allows me to.

And for this week, I present to you... The actual Hidden Path To Masters!
To add a little bit of context, I had recently casted the first leg of the Masters qualifiers with Juicebox versus Happy,
oblivious to the fact that there was a second leg being played out between the winners of Minions and Recruits.
So to set the record straight, I went ahead and casted the BO5 series between Blackened and Juicebox:

I think part of the reason the competitive community has grown is because of your great casting. I wouldn't be here if I hadn't come across one of your casts! Heck, I'm also playing Crystalized Doom right now because of your casts (I do hope you do more CD casts in the future).

Thanks for the great feedback! Seeing how my small contribution to the OpenRA community has actually persuaded people into discovering this gem means a lot to me. Will take a look at your submissions ASAP!

In other news, apologies for the delayed upload! I was on holidays and apparently so was the Youtube Upload Manager. Thus, I give you a delayed conclusion to the Hidden Path To Masters:
